Argentina defeated Colombia (1-0) and minimized the coffee growers’ chances of qualifying for the Qatar World Cup 2022. A goal by Lautaro Martínez sent the team led by Reinaldo Rueda to the canvas, which added its seventh consecutive game without scoring a goal in the South American Qualifiers.

The work of Camilo Vargas in the goal prevented the difference from being greater. Argentina was far superior and extended their unbeaten streak to 29 matches.

Al 28′ came the only goal of the match, courtesy of Lautaro Martínez. It should be noted that Lionel Messi, captain and figure of the Albiceleste, was not present on this FIFA date.

Subsequently, Argentina continued to insist. Di María was one of the players of the match. He had more than one clear scoring chance that he could not capitalize on because he ran into the wall called Camilo Vargas.

Colombia’s clearest goal scoring opportunity was at the feet of Miguel Borja and Luis Díaz, just at the end of the first half.

Di María again, a constant danger that could have increased the score against a weak Colombia, whose talent does not match what they have shown on the pitch in recent games.

Colombia lost in Argentina and also lost much of the ticket to Qatar 2022, which is beginning to look like a utopia.

The coffee growers close the day in seventh place, with 17 points. They are two points behind Chile (6th) and three points behind Peru (20), which still has to play its match against Ecuador in this date.

In the last two days of the South American Qualifiers they will face Bolivia and Venezuela, but they will not depend on themselves. The landscape has never been so dark.
